The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

"Li Qi has great potential. He will be able to master the Hunyuan level path in the future, making him the number one among all lords."

The starlight clone travels through various timelines in the future, observing more than 30,000 possibilities of Li Qi breaking the law with force. "Among the more than 30,000 possibilities of breaking the law with force in the future, the infinite path of primordial chaos that he opened up will lean in three different directions."

With over 30,000 possibilities, three different paths to the Hunyuan level have been opened up. This potential is simply too exaggerated!
As a result, he did not inform the other lords of this news.

"Luo Feng's nine possible ways of breaking the law with force in the past have two different paths."

Xingmang thought to himself, "Eight of them are orthodox methods of breaking through laws with force, while only one is the Chaotic Origin Path of Life and Death, which is full of destruction and pollution and is a path that is taken after merging bloodlines and starting over."

"At present, Luo Feng has comprehended the Chaotic Origin Path of Life and Death by breaking through the laws with force, so it is impossible for him to comprehend that path full of destruction and pollution."

“Li Qi is different. All three paths are extensions of the Half-Chaotic Infinite Path. He can break the law with force using any one of the paths without affecting his ability to comprehend the other two paths.”

Starlight's eyes held anticipation. "I wonder how far he will go in the future, and whether he can become the strongest in the Infinite Chaos Space?"

……

The original place, Hunyuan Island.

"Over two billion epochs in real time, I have finally thoroughly comprehended the four kinds of primordial remains of the Primordial Chaos."

Li Qi sorted through the various insights he had accumulated over a long period of cultivation, "The secret patterns on the remains of the Hunyuan Ancestor are quite complex, and the sum of the main types of secret patterns is mostly no more than 60%."

"But what's interesting is that this complex secret pattern structure allowed the Primordial Ancestors to comprehend the highest level of power in the Infinite Primordial Space."

With his mind racing, Li Qi pondered the commonalities among the secret patterns of the remains of the four Primordial Ancestors, only to discover that their secret patterns were all complex, with different types of secret patterns intertwined, ultimately forming incomplete secret patterns.

"Complex and containing various mysteries, yet it enabled the Primordial Ancestors to control the highest level of power. Why is that?"

Li Qi pondered, "The innate primordial life forms born from the infinite primordial space, whether they are low-level primordial, high-level primordial, or world-class primordial, all have their bloodlines containing mysterious patterns composed of two or three main mysteries."

"The Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan was different. Could this be the reason why the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan comprehended the highest power?"

"The innate potential of primordial life forms is immense. Although the life core limits their survival ability, it grants them infinite possibilities. By continuously tapping into their potential, they can evolve infinitely."

“I, as a cultivator, am different. To break free from the shackles, I must either comprehend the Dao at the Hunyuan level and grasp the essence of the highest power in the infinite Hunyuan space, or refine the origin of the source world or use the Hunyuan bloodline to break free from the shackles.”

Li Qi pondered carefully. He had reached a bottleneck. If he could not find the key to the Hunyuan Ancestors' control over the highest level of power, he would have no chance to break through the law with force.

"I, as a cultivator, have three ways to break free from the cage. I am well aware of two of them: relying on bloodlines and breaking through techniques with force. I can break free from the cage at any time by relying on a world-class Primordial Bloodline."

Li Qi murmured to himself, "I only know how to refine the origin of the source world, but I don't know the reasons behind it..."

Both naturally occurring primordial life forms and the primordial world are born from the infinite primordial space. Perhaps they have something in common, which is why cultivators can use the power of both to break free from their constraints.

"We'll have to ask Senior Yuan for help."

Li Qi sent a message via his bracelet.

Not long after.

Without warning, a middle-aged man appeared in the quiet room of the cave.

It wasn't until it revealed its presence that Li Qi noticed its existence, and immediately turned his head to look: "Who?"

"I am Xingmang," the middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile.

"Star Lord?" A hint of surprise appeared in Li Qi's eyes.

He had just asked Senior Yuan for help, since Senior Yuan had told him to come to him if he needed anything, but the person who came was Xingmang.

“Yuan received your message. He was originally going to take you to his home world, the Origin World, which he controls,” Xingmang said with a smile. “However, I took the initiative to do it. Would you mind visiting my home world?”

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Starlight." Li Qi naturally wouldn't refuse.

The Star Lord's mastery of spacetime ranks first among cultivators, and even ranks among the top in the Infinite Chaos Space, which is why his life is safe.

"I'm glad you don't mind." Xingmang said with a smile, then led Li Qi away from the place where they first met.

……

A few minutes later.

Li Qi and Xingmang appeared before a vast source world.

This source world was quite vast, several times larger than the Origin Continent, and gave Li Qi a hazy, dreamlike feeling, as if the source world before him did not exist in this space-time.

"This is my hometown. I have made special arrangements in the surrounding space and time, making it extremely difficult to find."

Xingmang explained, "Even if you find it, breaking through the spacetime network won't be easy."

Li Qi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

It's clear that the Star Lord attaches great importance to his homeland, which is why he has made so many arrangements.

It makes sense. Unless someone is an exceptionally ruthless and powerful individual, they are bound to have a deep affection for their hometown and would meticulously protect it. This is a normal phenomenon.

"Let's go in."

The starlight carried Li Qi into the source world in an instant, arriving at a pavilion atop a towering mountain peak.

"Sit down." Xingmang waved his hand, and two cups of fine wine appeared on the stone table.

“This wine is quite good; I got it from a powerful figure from another faction.” Starlight picked up a glass of wine. “That one is yours.”

Li Qi picked up the wine glass, only to find that there was only a shallow layer of wine inside, barely covering the bottom of the glass.

However, as he looked at the wine glass, he smelled a faint fragrance, and his mind immediately became much clearer and more alert, even his thinking speed increased by more than ten times.

“It’s not that I’m reluctant to part with it, but you’re still trapped in your cage and can only drink this much.” Xingmang said, then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Thank you, Lord Starlight." Li Qi said, then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

The liquor entered Li Qi's mouth and transformed into a clear stream, flowing into his body and putting his soul, consciousness, and thoughts in a wondrous state.

“Yuan has informed me of your application,” Xingmang said softly. “Take a close look at it.”

boom!
An invisible wave arose, a fluctuation of the world's operating rules, which materialized and surrounded Li Qi, so that he could touch it with just a reach of his hand.

Li Qi observed carefully, and even without the help of the Eye of Illusion, he could see that the nine fundamental paths of this Origin World intertwined, forming the supreme operating rules of this Origin World.

Among them are the Great Dao of the Origin of Life and the Great Dao of the Origin of the World, which Li Qi is familiar with. He has not comprehended the other seven Great Daos of Origin, but he can distinguish them by comprehending many Hunyuan bloodlines.

The Great Dao of Time, the Great Dao of Space, the Great Dao of Wind, the Great Dao of Fire, the Great Dao of Earth, the Great Dao of Water, and the Great Dao of Destruction.

The nine fundamental paths intertwine, each containing elements of the other. These seemingly different fundamental paths, when miraculously combined, form the supreme operating rules!
The cycle of life, birth, and destruction within the Origin World all originate from this supreme operating rule.

Li Qi observed carefully, his mind racing under the influence of the wine he had just drunk. Nearly five billion eons of comprehension of the Hunyuan bloodline and the mysteries of the Hunyuan Ancestor's remains were causing the supreme operating rules, woven from the nine fundamental Daos before him, to undergo an incredibly wondrous transformation under his own understanding.

That supreme operating rule miraculously transformed into a profound and mysterious pattern, the depth of which was almost identical to the secret patterns on the remains of the Primordial Ancestor!

"I understand!"

Upon seeing all this, Li Qi suddenly realized, "So, the Origin World and the Primordial Ancestor are existences of the same level, just like the soulless body of the Primordial Ancestor."

"And refining the origin of the source world is to transform into the soul of the Primordial Ancestor's body. By using the power of that body, one can naturally break free from the cage!"

Now Li Qi understands why the Lord of the Origin World was able to resist the invasion of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos within the Origin World—because they were of the same level!

When Li Qi realized the truth.

The Star Lord's expression changed slightly, and a look of joy and anticipation appeared in his eyes.

In his eyes, Li Qi's many possible future timelines are now gradually collapsing and converging into one, and all the futures point to only one possibility: breaking the law with force!

"Hmm? It's this way?"

A hint of surprise flickered in Xingmang's eyes.

He observed over 30 million possible ways for Li Qi to break through the laws of force in the future, and most of them, which led to becoming a lord, all pointing in the same direction.

“This is getting interesting… The infinite primordial Dao that he comprehended points to the direction that was probably the smallest before.”

Xingmang pondered, "Although the path is a bit off, it is destined to be extremely powerful and will be of great help to our cultivator camp."

soon.

As the effects of the alcohol wore off, Li Qi's extremely sluggish mental processing speed allowed him to regain his senses while viewing the secret patterns formed by the supreme rules.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he endured the discomfort caused by the slowing of his soul, consciousness, and thoughts, and said, "Thank you, Lord Starlight."

"It seems you've gained a great deal." Starlight smiled at Li Qi. "So, are you ready to return to the place of origin?"

“I have made a great discovery.” Li Qi nodded excitedly. “Please, Lord Starlight, take me back to the Land of Beginnings.”

“Okay.” Xingmang nodded, then disappeared with Li Qi from the mountaintop pavilion.

……

A few minutes later.

The original place, Hunyuan Island.

Li Qi sensed that Starlight was about to leave, so he quickly called out, "Lord Starlight, please wait."

"What's the matter?" Xingmang asked.

“I have new ideas for the future, and perhaps I will ask Lord Starlight for help later,” Li Qi said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xingmang's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

"Thank you..." Li Qi was about to express his gratitude.

“No need to be so polite,” Starlight said with a smile. “I just saw all the possibilities for your future. You have found the key to breaking through magic with force. From now on, you can just call me Starlight.”

"Understood." A look of understanding appeared in Li Qi's eyes.

Undoubtedly, the starlight that allows him to see all the possibilities of the future, which leads him to directly address the star by its name, suggests that he is highly likely to become a lord by breaking through the laws of force in the future.

"Just send me a message if you need help," Xingmang said, then nodded and disappeared.

Seeing the starlight depart, Li Qi activated a million-fold time acceleration to study the remains of other Primordial Ancestors, preparing for his eventual breakthrough using force.

……

The original place, the pavilion in the lake.

When Xingmang's figure appeared, all six lords in the pavilion looked over.

"So, did Li Qi make any progress?" Moman asked.

“It’s more than just a gain.” Starlight smiled. “I’ve been watching his future timeline, and now his future timeline has collapsed and become unified, all pointing directly to breaking the law with force.”

"Good! Our cultivator camp will have its ninth lord. It was worth enduring for so long."

Jin laughed heartily, "Let the Hunyuan Ancestors of the Tian Sheng Hunyuan camp be smug for a while. Once Li Qi has formed a fighting force, I will definitely tear a few of the Hunyuan Ancestors apart to vent my anger!"

"Although Li Qi's cultivation time is slower than Luo Feng's, it's not by much." Naigu clicked his tongue in amazement. "The master and disciple are truly remarkable."

"How long did Li Qi take to cultivate?" Minghuang asked.

“The actual timeframe is approximately five billion epochs,” Yuan replied, a satisfied smile on his face.

As the oldest lord, he felt happy and gratified at the birth of each new lord.

Especially now, with the war against the innate chaotic life force, the emergence of two new lords in their cultivator camp will have a decisive impact on the entire battle.

“Fifty billion years,” Naigu exclaimed. “The two of them still managed to break through the laws with brute force, and their future is limitless.”

The lords nodded in agreement. The lords who broke the law with force had greater potential than those of them who had become world-class Chaos Sources first.

Xingmang smiled, but in his heart he thought, "Li Qi's potential is more than just great; he may become the strongest person in the entire Infinite Chaos Space in the future!"

The potential of breaking through with force in three directions is immense!

If Xingmang comprehends two Chaotic Spacetime Daos on his own, he will already be one of the top two strongest beings in the Infinite Chaotic Space.

If Li Qi comprehends the three infinite paths of Hunyuan, then he, currently one of the top two strongest beings in the infinite Hunyuan space, will have no choice but to avoid his sharp edge.

There was no other reason than that among all the possible futures he had seen, the path that Li Qi had come to understand was extremely domineering, and apart from immortal beings, very few could escape from it!
When the three infinite paths of primordial chaos combine, the power they can unleash is likely comparable to some dangerous and mysterious places within the infinite primordial chaos space.

“Once Li Qi becomes a lord and forms a fighting force, we will still need to spend some time integrating him into the battle formation.”

Wu Lan spoke up, "If he were large, he might be able to cooperate with Moman."

"We'll see when the time comes." Moman, the smallest of the divine beings, remained noncommittal. "We still need to experience the path opened up by Li Qi."

“Luo Feng is already familiar with the Hunyuan level of Dao that we have mastered.” Xingmang’s gaze shifted to the direction of Hunyuan Island, a slight smile appearing on his face. “His combat strength is complete, and he has been of great help to us.”

"Oh?" Jin became interested. "What kind of help?"

"You'll know when Luo Feng arrives," Xingmang said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
